IT Relocation Strategy
Relocating your IT equipment when you move offices is a complex process that requires advanced planning and a clear strategy. Having a clear IT Strategy for your office move will mean that you no longer need to worry about any business downtime or lost productivity - a crucial element of every successful office move.
A good Office Move IT Strategy should include how you plan to get your new office "IT Ready" with the correct structured cabling; designed with enough flexibility to meet the growing demands of your business, as well as be robust and secure.
You should also undertake a full review of all your IT equipment before the office move, to ensure your new office can operate at its optimum efficiency. An office move is an ideal time to think about upgrading to the latest technology or replacing any redundant IT equipment.
If you are moving complex IT equipment such as servers, or you need help with setting up the new IT infrastructure correctly, you should contact an IT Relocation Company to help handle this crucial and complex aspect of your office move.
